Not sure I could come up with three people I would trust less with the lives of Palestinians than Trump, Netanyahu and Blair

Billions paid and committed for US submarines that may never be delivered. And a bonanza for consultants. The issue is not that the US review of #AUKUS "looms over" Albanese's meeting with Trump. But why there hasn't been a thorough Australian parliamentary inquiry into this costly farce. #auspol

We have ambulances ramped outside hospital emergency departments. #CancelAUKUS #AusPol

It's a bit like the Libs blaming the Optus fiasco on Labor. Never forget that John Howard sold off Telecom and that the Libs totally stuffed up the NBN rollout. They have an abysmal record on any infrastructure matter. They sell off our assets, help mates profit, and whinge when we have failures.

@abcnewsbot.bsky.social Good journalism makes it appropriate when interviewing former UK Defence Secretary, Michael Fallon to tell the audience Fallon was a Conservative MP, and then there's a list of allegations of sexual harassment that led him to resign (character).

Today’s ABC report shows fossil fuel interests are spreading misinformation to delay climate action. From fake studies to AI content, the risks to trust and democracy are real. I’ve called for truth in political advertisement for years. We need legislation before the next election. #AusPol

The world is in an existential battle with fascism. People who think attacking anyone except right-wingers right now shouldn't be in politics.

The Audit Office failed to meet nearly half of its performance targets this year due to a shrinking budget and agencies failing to hand over financial statements on time www.canberratimes.com.au/story/907559...

Why is he still being given a public platform when his widely adopted original argument has been shown to be so wrong? Meanwhile, Fukuyama's historic and contemporary critics continue to be ignored despite better work and stronger arguments. He's the social science equivalent of Andrew Wakefield.

The education system is the most profound influence on the future social structure of the country but the effects are not immediately obvious, yet it is dismantling egalitarianism through segregation that's financial, religious, and class based.

Jane Caro: “Education Minister Jason Clare observed that Australia has one of the most segregated education systems in OECD. What is deeply shocking is that our children are mostly segregated according to social class.” @janecaro.bsky.social #auspol www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/share/21678/....

In Canberras Parliament House nearly a quarter of all registered lobbyists are from the fossil fuel industry. Yet FF workers represent only 1% of the workforce. Could explain why even new MPs fire back FF talking points when we visit them ie ‘gas is a clean transition fuel’.

Will David Crowe and Phil Coorey admit the role their organisations have played in stoking immigration hate over the past decade? #insiders #auspol

@markbutlermp.bsky.social one of many voices speaking up about the problem of the US, but you sent me this pathetic copperplate response to a legitimate inquiry. Read the room.

Reminder: KPMG is the same consultancy, staffed by the same people, which has been criticised by a Senate committee for its culture, its practices, and its deception. Why would any self-respecting educational institution use them?

Just add them to the mountain that Zionists and Israel have told themselves and the world for about 150 years

Grifting is in their DNA!

The hypocrisy and opportunism of the 1% are nauseating. Immoral, unethical, self-centred, exploitative - every single negative human trait is rewarded. What a system.

Why do liveable cities lists not include Wuhan, Beijing or Shanghai? Chinese cities have a unique cultural attribute in their policies designed to build community, welcome visitors to live and work. #auspol #liveablecities

Good news everyone.

James Comey personifies why appeasing aspiring authoritarians in the end bites you in the ass. This dude capitulated in advance just prior to the 2016 election. How did that work out for Jimmy? Learn from schmuck's experience. DO NOT CAPITULATE. Choose courageous integrity over cowardice.

Good morning.

Tony Blair?? Hasn't Gaza suffered enough?

Why aren’t these two in jail? They knew #Robodebt was illegal & yet they kept defending it. It’s a crime to continue with something illegal, knowing it is illegal . BL #StuartRobert BL covers his suprasternal notch, FEAR after NPC address defending #Robodebt #KathrynCampbell

It’s likely that this happened to them, in which case, again, this should be much bigger news. We can’t just disappear thousands of people without notifying anyone www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

British Foreign Minister Yvette Cooper and Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong must compare notes on how to sound very very very really concerned while doing nothing. #GazaGenocide #auspol

Israel killed every single child in this photo in Gaza in just the past few days. This is a deliberate genocide targeting children above all else.

@markbutlermp.bsky.social Why is Australia still tying itself to this deranged regime? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

@markbutlermp.bsky.social WELL? [when are you going to answer my email]

The Sumud Flotilla is under attack. Thiago Ávila, a Brazilian organiser, reports 10 drone attacks on the smaller boats, seemingly to destroy their sails. Citizens from the entire world are aboard. It is carrying food for the victims of genocide. Governments need to protect it.

@markbutlermp.bsky.social WELL??

Australia's population growth rate dropped between March 2020 and March 2021 (pandemic). It bounced back & is now back to "normal" levels In the year ending 31 March 2025, net overseas migration: *decreased* by 177,900 (36.0%) people since the previous year #JustSayin www.abs.gov.au/statistics/p...
